hi nick,

I'm posting this to the list because it's relevant.

Init basically loads up all the system stuff for binarycloud: permissions,
authentication, the constants, etc.

So if you write a bunch of modules that use our code, they will depend on
our code.

Like any other major change, moving a bunch of code _out_ of binarycloud and
fixing all of the dependencies would be a major task, because binarycloud
has a _great_deal_ of code to support your applications, i.e. you write less
coded to begin with, because bc has it already.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by portability - I've assumed you mean
"framework" portability.

As far as platforms go, binarycloud r2 will really be targeted at
unix/linux, not windows - because windows does not offer many of the tools
necessary to support makefiles, etc. - but you can move the code around
without a problem because it's php.
